I didn't know the Guardian wants people to make an account to read. I found the article at another site.
I'm pretty surprised they were able to solve it. I didn't think doing DNA was as popular in Europe because they don't have the sales we have, or that's what one Hungarian cousin's GF told me when I posted about buying it for $59 when it's on sale. I told her it can get shipped to me and I'd gladly pay the $15 to ship the Ancestry test to Hungary just to have him in their database. I'd love to know what kind of matches I have on that line, he's currently at My Heritage. He's a match on my dad's mothers side where I don't have as much information even though my uncle is still alive. She told me people in Europe do My Heritage because it's cheaper then doing Ancestry but I can't see that unless they have different benefits then we do. At least with Ancestry you pay once and are done. With My Heritage, you have to pay to ship it back plus get a $100 a year subscription to use the advanced DNA tools that people that do uploads pay $29 for.
